This is a pretty good blueprint for building a traction control system... Cut individual fuel injectors as the power output needs to be reduced. Very simple system.....

MS doesn't do sequential and I don't think the GPIO board can handle SFI either (it just communicates with MS over CAN). Individual injector cut probably wouldn't be feasible with that setup.
I would think the easiest way to implement traction control would be to use an electronic throttle body off a new Series III 3800SC or something similar. You could make a box with a standard GM throttle cam and the appropriate position sensor (probably just a rotary potentiometer?) so you can use the stock throttle cable. Then just program the ECM to copy the throttle position as indicated unless there is loss of traction; then ease it off an appropriate amount.

I hate electronic throttles :la:
Series, you could build a traction control module with a basic stamp. That's the beauty of this system... All you need are mosfets x number of cylinders.
Have the stamp read front and rear tire speed, and program it to cut injectors vs slip. Have it start at 15% slip or whatever and ramp up linearly.
If you don't want TC, you just switch off the module.
